Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app heroku

Question

When I tried to push my nodejs app to heroku with git push heroku master, i got this:

Counting objects: 975, done.
Delta compression using up to         


        

Answer 1

I solved this.
I got the same error:

"Push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app"

but my log was complaining about this Unknown option:

'--target'

I solved this digging out on my package.json and I found this line of code below:

"postinstall": "ng build --aot --target=production"

I removed the --target=production.

On my terminal:
I commited again $ git commit -m 'anything here'
then $ git push heroku master
And done.

The easiest way to make this work is to add node_modules to your .gitignore. Lots more info here: Fail to deploy node.js application to heroku
